    I’m genuinely glad the people I disagree with are able to come around and accept reality and admit they were wrong. I legit applaud y’all!

    That said, for the love of god, please take a moment to assess why you came to that incorrect conclusion, purge yourself of any pundits in your feed that were confident in their now clear lies (saying there was no way Biden would drop out), and seek out those that correctly predicted what has happened.

    For example, the people in this clip saying Biden would be the nominee. If I was on the fence with listening to any of them before, I’d absolutely never consider anything they say about politics ever again without a clear apology and explanation of how they messed up and their plan to improve going forward. At worst they’re liars and at best they’re not good at informing us.

    The easier thing is to just go look for people that were right about something. One big example, for me, is Michael Moore being right about the 2020 election. He said Trump could win and was ridiculed on corporate news networks.

      You should get off your high horse before it becomes impossible. I still absolutely believe Biden could have and probably would’ve won, but I will admit that I was wrong that him dropping out ended up being good rather than bad.

      Well, AOC plays the game quite well. I agreed with her that it was too late to switch.

      To be clear, I’m an independent conservative that doesn’t like Biden or Harris. But you can count me to vote against Trump and is ilk (people who don’t see certain groups as people, people who deny science).

      Republicans may be tolerable at a local level — especially because I live in a conservative county. But there is no way in hell I can trust Republicans not to cave to party leadership

        I’m not really talking about AOC, she just stated her opinion very clearly and concisely.

        I’m talking about People that simply said it couldn’t happen, it never would happen, and it was naive and stupid to even think it could happen. For example, I don’t watch Joy Reid or that last guy in the clip but I’d personally never take them seriously again
